Is the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse earns a 4.6/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Performance and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its spaciousness, feature content, and good gas mileage, which fits well if you want a roomy family crossover with full-size SUV space.

At the same time, the market shows 29.5% good or great deals, so you still have room to shop selectively rather than rush.

Is the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable in day-to-day family use, with repeated praise for spaciousness, features, and good gas mileage. The expert summary also frames it as a model that can be appealing over time because you can save thousands off sticker price, which helps offset average predicted reliability and cost-of-ownership ratings.

The cost-effectiveness notes add that Chevy included free scheduled maintenance for 2 years or 24,000 miles, which helps reduce early ownership burden. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that some owners have reported engine noise and possible transmission concerns, so a careful test drive and service-history review matter.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Chevrolet Traverse?

At 60.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the vehicle drives cleanly under acceleration and at highway speed.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LS is the simplest version, while the 1LT adds aluminum wheels, foglights, remote engine start, rear parking assist sensors, a front-center airbag, and nicer trim inside and out. The 2LT adds triple-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs, a universal garage door opener, auto-dimming mirrors, a power rear liftgate, Chevrolet MyLink technology, and a Bose premium audio system with rear-seat audio controls and headphone jacks. The LTZ adds leather seats, ventilated front seats, memory for the driver’s settings, an 8-way power adjustable front passenger’s seat, a heated steering wheel, a side blind-zone alert system, a lane-departure warning system, a forward collision warning system, chrome exterior trim, and 20-inch aluminum wheels.
• Powertrain: A 3.6-liter V6 makes between 281 and 288 horsepower depending on trim, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional, and the Traverse can tow up to 5,200 pounds.
• Safety package: OnStar is standard and includes automatic crash response, crisis assist, and emergency services. Rear parking assist sensors are included on the 1LT and 2LT, while forward collision alert and lane-departure warning are standard on the LTZ and optional on the LT2. Side blind-zone alert is standard only on the LTZ.
• Infotainment: Chevrolet MyLink uses a 6.5-inch color touchscreen and includes Bluetooth streaming audio, Internet radio access, phonebook contacts, and music libraries. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are not mentioned. A navigation system is extra, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system is available.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert notes that the Traverse averaged 17.8 mpg in mixed driving in an AWD test vehicle, with an EPA estimate of 19 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2014 Chevrolet Traverse trim should I buy?

The 2014 Chevrolet Traverse is offered in 4 trim levels: LS, 1LT, 2LT, LTZ.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the value play if you want the Traverse’s core space and V6 power at the lowest entry point. It gives you the basics, but it skips several convenience and safety upgrades that show up on the higher trims.
• 1LT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds useful everyday upgrades like remote start, rear parking assist sensors, foglights, and a front-center airbag without jumping all the way to the top model.
• 2LT: Choose this if you want a stronger comfort-and-family setup, since it adds triple-zone climate control, heated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs, a power liftgate, MyLink, and a Bose audio system.
• LTZ: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with leather, ventilated front seats, driver memory, a heated steering wheel, and the most complete safety tech. It makes the most sense if you want the most features and are willing to pay for them.

The safety package is strongest on the LTZ, where side blind-zone alert is standard and forward collision warning and lane-departure warning are included.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Chevrolet Traverse?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 770 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.82% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $7,372, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse's resale value?

The current average of $7,645 sits slightly below last year's $8,117.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at a strong price and keep the vehicle in good condition, you can reduce the impact of that softer market.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse safe?

The 2014 Chevrolet Traverse earns the IIHS's highest rating of Good in nearly every test, and NHTSA gives it five-star ratings for every assessment except rollover resistance, for which it rates four stars.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes a reversing camera and OnStar services with automatic crash response, crisis assist, and emergency services. Rear parking assist sensors are included on the 1LT and 2LT, while forward collision alert and lane-departure warning are standard on the LTZ and optional on the LT2. Side blind-zone alert is standard only on the LTZ.

One caveat is that the IIHS had not performed the small-overlap frontal-impact test on this model at the time of the review, so it could not be included on the Top Safety Pick list.

Should I buy a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.82% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 stands out for being roomy, safe, and dynamically satisfying, while still offering a lower maximum tow rating than a traditional SUV.

The bottom line: The 2014 Traverse makes the most sense if you want a spacious family crossover with strong safety credentials and a softer used-car price. If you are especially price-sensitive, this year’s market gives you a good chance to find value, but you should be selective about condition and history before committing.
